I have to say, our entire family is VERY happy. Markie, who is our youngest, (we have two 23 year old sons, too), was given an ALL A's award yesterday at his school. He was so FREAKED! He RAN up to the stage, and then bumped into the principal!LOL! The happiness spilled over into our evening at home. The cats pranced around like it was Christmas...I think they were hoping the tree would be put up so they could RIDE it to the floor countless times! LOL!
I wanted to use this image, so I increased the finished card size to 6" x 4 3/4". This made the image easier to fit the sketch! (The mat strips are 1 1/4" x 5 3/4" long. The dp strips are 1" x 5 1/2" long.) The image was stamped once onto the background and cut out with a Nestie. I stamped the image on scrap white and colored it in with Copics. I cut it out and layered it with THIN foam tape to the background.
